Former South Carolina DL Jadeveon Clowney recently met with the media after it was announced that he made his first Pro Bowl. He spoke of the satisfaction of being selected for the NFL’s all-star game after his career got off to a rough start with two injury-filled seasons.

Clowney reveals that this is the first season he made getting to the Pro Bowl a personal goal. The former No. 1 pick has had his share of critics, but has silenced many of them with a productive season now that he’s healthy. This season, Clowney has 49 combined tackles including 5 sacks and a forced fumble for the Houston Texans.
